Zakaya

**Find Your People**

Remember when making friends just happened? You'd show up somewhere regularly and naturally get to know everyone. Zakaya brings that feeling back.

**How It Works**

Your gym, studio, or local spot creates a Zakaya community. You join through their invite. Suddenly you're not just another face in the crowd. You're part of a group where people actually know each other.

**The App Makes It Easy**

We match you with people who get it:
- Find a workout buddy who actually shows up
- Connect with someone learning the same skills
- Meet people who share your weird hobbies
- Help newcomers feel less awkward

**Small on Purpose**

Most apps want you to connect with thousands of strangers. We do the opposite. Zakaya communities are small, usually 100-200 people. That's the sweet spot where real friendships happen. Small enough to know everyone, big enough to find your people.

**Actually Hang Out**

- See who's going to events before you commit
- Create challenges with friends (like training for that 5K you keep talking about)
- Keep conversations going between classes
- Celebrate wins and get through tough days together

**Be Yourself**

You're not just "person #47" here. People get to know the real you. Your other interests, your goals, what makes you laugh. Turns out friendships go deeper when you're not performing for hundreds of strangers.

**Real People, Real Places**

Zakaya communities are run by places you already go. No random internet people, no weird DMs, no endless scrolling. Just genuine connections with people you'll actually see.

**It's for You If:**
- You just moved and need actual friends
- You love your gym but wish you knew more people
- You want friends, not followers
- You're tired of surface-level connections
- You miss having a regular crew

**What People Say**

"Been going to my gym for 2 years but made more friends in 2 months on Zakaya than the whole time before"

"It's like having a friend group built into my yoga studio. We actually grab coffee after class now"

"Thought I was too busy for new friends. Turns out I just needed the right setup"

**Getting Started**

Making adult friends doesn't have to be weird. If your place already uses Zakaya, ask them for an invite. If not, tell them about it. We work with organizations that actually care about their communities.

Heads up: You need an invite from a participating organization to join. We keep it small and real that way.
